Episode 259: Chase (1)
* * *
Pow!
“You damn bastard!”
“Ugh!”
“Lift your head up, kid!”
Bye!
“Wow!”
“I sent you to follow me. I sent you to find out what I was doing and expose it all, you bastard?”
“Kkeokkeokkeok….”
“It’s not enough that you were threatened, so you even apologized? “Are you out of your mind now?”
“Leader. That was the Master’s order…”
“You are my direct subordinate. Do you think I raised you to bow your head to everyone? Why do you live? Why don’t you just bite your tongue and die? Why are you buying it? Do you have the courage to apologize but not the courage to commit suicide?”
“I’m sorry, Captain!”
Around that time.
Kim Hee-un, who came to see Chae Gwan-hyeong before reporting to Jang Si-hwan, was receiving a one-sided beating.
The blood flowing from the burst lips and broken teeth was soaking Kim Hee-un’s entire face.
“You threw away your shoes, you bastard!”
Chae Gwan-hyung threw the luxury shoes he was wearing at Kim Hee-un’s face.
Kim Hee-woon thought that Chae Gwan-hyeong’s reaction was his ‘inner heart’ of caring for and caring for her.
Chae Gwan-hyeong had different thoughts.
It was just because my pride was hurt.
A ‘tool’ is an object that has meaning when it functions as the owner wants.
Scissors that can’t cut things.
A fruit that cannot be peeled.
Is it useful?
does not exist. It is right to throw away such tools. Because it has no value.
Kim Hee-un was like that right now.
If the guy sent to follow you can’t do it, isn’t it worth living? It deserves to be discarded.
“I’m sorry, Captain….”
“You should have either killed that bastard after Shin Kang-hu or gotten away with it. Ha… I’m so angry.”
Bang bang! Bang bang!
Chae Gwan-hyung slammed the desk.
The desk that received his anger eventually could not withstand it and shattered into pieces. That is how great Chae Gwan-hyeong’s anger was.
Chae Gwan-hyeong, who had calmed down a bit, asked Kim Hee-un if his own way of venting his anger had worked.
“Tell me how you were discovered.”
“That…”
Kim Hee-un laid out a series of situations that occurred while following Kang-hu.
While listening, Chae Gwan-hyung had one reaction. Looking at Kim Hee-un with a pitiful expression, he sighs.
But after listening to it, I thought that Kim Hee-un had no choice but to suffer.
Even though Kim Hee-un could not complete his mission, he was never a subordinate who told lies to him.
His words can be trusted.
In that case, it becomes an established fact that Kang-hoo has the ability to teleport and monitor the rear.
“First of all, you are on probation. I’ll talk to Sihwan. After Shin Kang, I guess I’ll have to do something about this bastard. How dare you disparage our guild’s hunters? “This fucking bastard…”
Chae Gwan-hyeong, who revealed his emotions without hesitation, was hostile.
From the beginning, Chae Gwan-hyeong was not concerned about the fact that Jang Si-hwan was interested in Kang-hu.
Even so, he’s just a low-level assassin who knows how to do some tricks.
What’s so good about it that they offer to recruit him and secretly follow him around while telling him not to fight?
Go beat him to death and join the purification guild, or leave him. If you ask me to choose between two options, I will do it.
“Because I keep leaving the guild in a low posture, that bastard doesn’t know he’s high up in the sky and starts climbing up. A guy like that needs to reform his mind. “Fuck you.”
Chae Gwan-hyeong nervously put a cigarette in his mouth and immediately left his house.
Then, as his fever rose again, he looked back and shouted at Kim Hee-un.
“Get out of here, you bastard!”
His own subordinate who failed his mission.
I didn’t even want to see it.
I thought just stopping at this level was enough mercy.
* * *
By that time, Kanghu had arrived about 5km away from ground zero. It is located in the northern part of Gyeonggi Province.
The reason Kang Hu came here was to pass through Ground Zero and enter North Korean territory.
There was one reason. This is to create an opportunity to make a contract with the ‘Angel of Battle’ constellation.
Currently, Ganghu’s remaining main constellation additional slots are 2.
Even if one was left strategically, there was no reason to leave two blank spaces.
So, he came to the north to make a contract with the battlefield angel constellation before it was too late.
Once you begin training as a spiritual body in the Dark Sanctuary, you will not be able to contract with any constellations related to divine power.
At that time, even if you wanted to make a contract with the battlefield angel constellation, you would not be able to do so.
I was planning to see the results this time.
And no matter how much he thought about it, it seemed like it would be much better for him to have it than for Elizabeth.
Of course, the consent or intention of the parties obtained later is not important at all. It’s a future I don’t even know about.
‘I’m sure I’ll get tired of meeting hybrids.’
The way to get the attention of the battlefield angel is simple.
This kills a lot of hybrids.
There is no set number.
Just kill as many as you can. To the point where I wonder if he’s crazy about subjugating hybrids.
It goes without saying, but if you do this, you will also have to face the pack queen. It is definitely not an easy challenge.
“Could you please wait a little longer? It takes time to adjust the output. As you know… it’s illegal modification, right?”
Kanghu was purchasing a bike needed to enter North Korea at a bike shop.
I only ride it when I go anyway.
Since they were planning to return by instantaneous movement, they had requested that it be modified to produce maximum output.
This is because there are colonies of Gaya hybrid species living in groups in the northern part of South Pyongan Province.
Remodeling was essential as the process of getting from here to there was never smooth.
“Please hurry.”
Wow!
Kanghu threw a wad of 50,000 won bills. The hands of a well-motivated seller become busy.
Meanwhile, Kanghu watched hunter-related news on the TV in the shop.
【The Public Security Agency issued an official statement today and announced that it will launch an all-out war against the abyss of criminal organizations.
Let’s take a look at the press conference of Kang Hyo-tae, the Commissioner of the National Public Security Agency.】
The video following the anchor’s announcement showed Kang Hyo-tae, the Commissioner of the National Police Agency, holding a press conference in person.
He was also used as a face in the original work.
The main character, Jang Si-hwan, treated him well and used the appropriate method of coaxing him to good use.
Even now, Kang Hyo-tae seemed to be giving strength to the statement, as if his position had not changed.
The content that followed was an exception in a bad sense.
In order to fight against the abyss, it was said that not only Seoul, but also local security offices would be mobilized.
Of course, it is true that the influence of local police agencies was significantly reduced, but their deterrent power was not completely absent.
However, removing more power was like openly advertising the lack of security.
This is a decision that is not easy to make unless you are a nerd. There is no way these people, who are considered elite, would make such a choice.
There was probably pressure from the Purification Guild. To be exact, he must have been under a lot of pressure from Jang Si-hwan.
‘What can a rattle do? Just jingling hard.’
It is completely understandable that the Public Safety Agency’s efforts are being made. Of course, I can’t agree with you.
【Haeyoung Guild also released an official statement today, saying that it will help Jeonghwa Guild in suppressing its criminal organization.】
‘That’s really flirty.’
Haeyoung’s guild knows when to put it on and when to let it go.
It seems like he wants to receive a lot of love from Jang Si-hwan.
If this happens, there is a high probability that the abyss will be at a disadvantage.
It is unlikely that Lee Hyun-seok will be defeated easily, but we cannot be optimistic about the Battle of Dongducheon.
Rather, it appears that a strategic retreat should be considered.
‘I’ll take care of it.’
Kang Hu trusted Lee Hyun-seok.
And apart from worrying, you can’t give strength to the abyss. For now, the best thing to do is wait and see.
at that time.
“The preparations are complete. “I also kept an oil can as a spare, just in case.”
After completing the final settings, the seller handed the bike and keys to Kang-hoo.
As I knew well how the hunters who came here used their bikes, I did not forget to give them good words.
“Please be safe. “I hope you can visit us again next time.”
It means not to die.
This is something I can say because I have seen so many hunters die before even passing Ground Zero.
“See you again.”
Kanghu nodded and said.
Vroom! Vroom vroom!
It started picking up speed right away.
From now on, it’s a battle of speed.
The target is north of South Pyongan Province.
You have to go through Pyongyang, Pyongseong, and Suncheon City to Gaecheon City.
* * *
Fortunately, nothing much happened until we entered Pyongyang.
First of all, this is because with the end of the alert period at Ground Zero, the madness of the monsters based there has subsided.
Moreover, perhaps thanks to the illegal modifications, the speed of the bike was much better than Kang-hoo expected.
The road conditions were not bad, so we were able to get to Pyongyang quickly.
Everything in Pyongyang remained as it was before the Hunter era began.
Although it was rusty and faded, the statue was still there, and so was the Ryugyong Hotel, an unfinished landmark.
Because it has been neglected for a long time, it has now become an ugly thing that gives off a lot of gloomy energy. It was like that from the beginning.
“….”
There is silence everywhere.
Aside from the sound Kang-hu’s bike was making just now, you can almost feel what the no-man’s land feels like.
In the past, the Public Security Agency personally came to Pyongyang to collect corpses.
Perhaps for that reason, there were no white bones strewn about on the road or any abandoned structures.
In the past, the reason the Public Security Agency came all the way to Pyongyang was to find a hidden dungeon.
This is because ownership could be attributed as soon as it was found.
However, for some reason, not a single dungeon was created in the Pyongyang area, and it was just a waste of money.
at that time.
Ta-dak.
“…?”
While I couldn’t hear anything, I suddenly heard something that sounded like hoofbeats. There is something.
Let’s immediately use the sensory concentration skill to strengthen our hearing.
Huh. Huh. Huh.
I could feel my breathing in and out while making as little noise as possible. The number is not small.
Kanghu held his breath.
They are fighting over each other.
Even without checking, it was easy to guess that their invisible identity was the ‘enemy’.
Ugh!
Ganghu immediately increased his speed. The throttle was pulled to maximum.
Next moment.
Gudddddd! Gudddddd!
The enemy hiding behind the building was revealed.
“Roe deer?”
It was a roe deer.
To be exact, it is a roe deer monster that has become a monster after experiencing mutations over a long period of time.
Even though these guys are outside the dungeon, they provide experience points and drop loot when killed.
In fact, it is a monster, so it has an instinctively learned hostility and aggression toward hunters.
Why!
Although the speed increased significantly.
Takkak! Takkak! Takkak!
The speed of the chasing roe deer was also fast enough to go beyond imagination. So much so that I can’t even see my legs.
It is impossible to engage in close combat by swinging a dagger against an animal that is difficult to fight with normal strength.
If you happen to be unlucky enough to get hit by a hind leg with a lot of force, it will quickly break your neck or anywhere else.
so that.
Kang-hoo chose to ride his bike as far away as possible rather than fight head-on, which could be very dangerous.
Suddenly, a chase was beginning in the middle of downtown Pyongyang.
